Answer 1

Two scenario can be considered here.

• First it is your developed web page getting accessed from "asset" folder.
• Second You are trying to access a website.

1.If it is your web page, you need to write the code in javascript something like this:

    function refreshIt(){
      setTimeout('refreshIt()',5000);
    }

2.If you are accessing the website.

For this check out browser api: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Browser.html

Try using"deleteFromHistory(ContentResolver cr, String url)" method to clear the history of the particular website, so that when it refreshes it gives you the new page.

You cannot refresh it from the api level.
